| Dear host family, My name is Marta, I am 15 years old. I live in a flat near Madrid, with my mother, my father and my 12-year-old siblings (they are twins). My parents are economists. I have two grandmothers and a grandfather. I really like spending time with my family, cook with them, watch movies, the game afternoons, travel together and many more things. I am friendly and sociable, so that´s why I don´t have problems to meet people and make new friends. I´m also very active so that makes me sometimes impatient and restless, and that’s a weakness in class, because teachers tell me that I speak a lot and sometimes I can be impulsive, but I´m improving ;). My friends say I am very funny because I like laughing and make people laugh. I am responsible and organized, but my parents say I should be tidier. However, the characteristic that best describes me is that I am very sportive. I´ve been swimming since I was 5 years old. Currently, I train 6 days a week 3-4 hours daily and I compete some weekends. That helps me having discipline and manage my time correctly to study and swim. So that up to now I haven´t had problems to get good marks at school. In my free time, apart from swimming, I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, cooking, and having time with my family. My favorite foods are fajitas, Spanish omelet, and pasta. My favorite holiday is summer, because I hang out with my friends, I travel a lot, usually to the beach, that I love, and I relax of everything. I´m excited to live this experience. In my school I have a subject called American culture, with a native girl from USA that tells us your traditions, facts, and many interesting things. Thanks to your kindness I´m going to have the opportunity to experience it. Of course, I also want to improve my English, meet new people and know a new country. I would like to live in a small city rather than the countryside. I also would like to keep swimming, although I want to try new sports. I hope we can meet soon. Best wishes, Marta |
